2017 Schedule Announced For Pinty's Series

2017 Schedule Announced For Pinty's Series

11th Season of Canadian Championship Features Unique Events
Official Release
December 8, 2016 - 12:10pm

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Coming off an historic inaugural season with a new entitlement partner, the NASCAR Pinty's Series is primed to capitalize on that momentum with a 2017 schedule that includes traditional marque events and several unique changes.

The NASCAR Pinty's Series will open on Sunday, May 21 with the popular Victoria Day weekend at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ont. The series will make a second stop at the road course on Sunday, Sept. 3 in conjunction with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. And the Toronto Honda Indy weekend will again feature Canada's national stock car championship series in the event held by Toronto's Lake Ontario waterfront on the Exhibition Place street course. The series will be the headliner on Saturday, July 15.

"From Cayden Lapcevich's memorable championship campaign, to the thrilling battles between Quebec's favorites Andrew Ranger, Alex Tagliani, Kevin Lacroix and Alex Labbe, the 2016 NASCAR Pinty's Series was one for the record books," said George Silbermann, NASCAR vice president of weekly & touring series. "With the newly released schedule, the 2017 season is shaping to take that excitement to the next level. The mix of world-class road courses and challenging ovals will provide a great test for drivers and teams, and excite fans across Canada."

"The first season as an entitlement sponsor with NASCAR exceeded our wildest expectations," said Tony Spiteri, Pinty's senior vice president, marketing, research & development. "Pinty's Foods is proud to be part of the top racing series in Canada, and to have our brand represented at some of the best racing tracks in the country."

The annual West Coast swing will feature a new look: The NASCAR Pinty's Series will visit Wyant Group Raceway in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, for twin features on Wednesday, July 25, and then travel to Alberta's Edmonton International Raceway on Saturday, July 29. The three championship events will mark the halfway point of the 2017 season.

The series' seventh trip to Circuit ICAR, on the grounds of Montreal's Mirabel International Airport, will also feature a new look. The road-course event will be run under the lights on Saturday, July 8. The 13-race schedule includes a return to Ontario's Delaware Speedway, as well.

Other highlights of the 2016 schedule include:

• The season will conclude on Saturday, Sept. 16 at Kawartha Speedway in Fraserville, Ontario. The .375-mile oval has hosted the final race of the NASCAR Pinty's Series in each of the previous 10 seasons.
• One of the most anticipated races each year is the Circuit de Trois-Rivieres, and the series will take to the Quebec street course on Sunday, Aug. 13. 
• The penultimate race of the year will take place at Quebec's Autodrome St-Eustace (Sept. 9), and the series will again visit the high-banked action-packed Riverside International Speedway in Nova Scotia (Aug. 19) and feature an early-season showdown at Quebec's Autodrome Chaudiere (June 17).
• In addition to Toronto, which is in its second of a three-year agreement, NASCAR has signed three-year sanction agreements with Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, Riverside and Circuit de Trois-Rivieres.

The NASCAR Pinty's Series television broadcast schedule on TSN and RDS will be announced at a later date.

2017 PASS North Super Late Model Schedule Highlighted By Return To Canada

 

-       Oxford Plains Speedway To Host 5 Events Including The 44th Annual Oxford 250, Paying $25,000 To Win On Sunday, August 27

 

-       PASS North Season Opener To Be Part Of Prestigious Icebreaker Weekend At Thompson Speedway In April

 

-       PASS Returns To Quebec On May 21 and New Brunswick On June 3, Oxford 250 Spots Up For Grabs

 

 

-       For Immediate Release

 

NAPLES, ME (December 8) – Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials announced today the release of the 2017 schedule for the PASS North Super Late Models.  The Northeast's top short trackers will once again compete at some of the best speedways in New England and Canada, highlighted by the 44th Annual Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway.  The season will begin for the second year in a row at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in Connecticut as part of the Icebreaker weekend on April 1-2.   After a year hiatus, PASS will return to Canada in 2017 with events in the provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick.  The PASS North Super Late Models will compete on 10 different speedways in 4 states and 2 Canadian provinces in 2017.

"We believe this is our strongest schedule yet for the PASS North Super Late Models," said PASS President Tom Mayberry.  "This year we will celebrate our 17th year of sanctioning races and we're very glad to be able to return to Canada in 2017.  Our fans to the north are some of the most passionate in all of racing.  The Oxford 250 has found a home with its August date and has solidified its place as one of short track racing's biggest events and we're glad to continue that this coming year." 

The 44th Annual Oxford 250 looks to continue as one of the crown jewel events in short track racing with racers from all across North America expected to compete for $25,000 to win, plus guaranteed lap leader money on August 25-27. The 250 will again cap off a full weekend of short track racing action on the famed Oxford Plains Speedway in what many dub Maine's premier sporting event annually.  And for the first time ever, the PASS National Champion will be crowned at the conclusion of the 250. 

A final tune-up to the Oxford 250 will take place on Saturday, July 29 at Oxford Plains Speedway.  In addition, Oxford Plains Speedway will once again host the PASS North Super Late Models on Saturday, April 22 and will crown the PASS North titlist with the season finale on Saturday, October 14. 

Following a successful debut last year, PASS will again sanction a special Independence Day weekend show at Oxford Plains Speedway on Sunday, July 2.  This event will be a non-points event, featuring PASS "non-winners."  The top three finishers will be given guaranteed starting spots for the 44th Annual Oxford 250.  This year, Wayne Helliwell, Jr. won the PASS "non-winners" race before going on to capture the checkered flag in the Oxford 250.

In 2017, PASS North returns to Canada for two major events.  On Sunday, May 21, PASS makes its way back to Quebec for an event at Autodrome Montmagny.  And for the first time since 2014, the PASS North Super Late Models will be at Speedway 660 in New Brunswick for an Oxford 250 qualifier on Saturday, June 3.  The top three teams from the United States and the top three teams from Canada will each receive guaranteed starting spots for the Oxford 250.

Maine's Beech Ridge Motor Speedway will host the PASS North Super Late Models three times in 2017 on Saturday, April 29, Saturday, July 8, and on Sunday, September 17.  The PASS 300 in April will be one of six PASS National Championship events that were announced earlier this month.

Speedway 95 in Hermon, ME returns to the PASS North schedule for a fourth consecutive year with a 150 lap event slated for Sunday, June 18.

PASS will make its first of five trips in 2017 to the state of New Hampshire on Saturday, May 6 at Star Speedway.  There will also be a special Thursday nightevent at Star Speedway on July 13.  PASS will make its only trip to White Mountain Motorsports Park on Saturday, September 23.  The series will also be in the Granite State on Friday, June 23 for an event at Lee USA Speedway and then again on Friday, August 11. 

The Super Late Models of PASS will compete again for the third straight year at Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Vermont on Sunday, May 28. The PASS North Super Late Models will race for 150 laps and the Thunder Road Late Models will join them for the Mekkelsen Memorial Day Classic 100.

The Pro All Stars Series is recognized as North America's premier sanctioning body for asphalt Super Late Models and boasts such marquee events as the legendary Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway and PASS South's Easter Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway.  For technical information concerning all PASS divisions please send questions to passracing@roadrunner.com.  For media or marketing questions, please contact Alan Dietz at 704-231-2039 or alandietzpass@live.com.  Please visit ProAllStarsSeries.com for more information.  And, don't forget to "Like" the Pro All Stars Series on Facebook or follow us on Twitter @PASSSLM14 to keep up with breaking news as it happens.
